Aim Of The Program
At Voice Trust Madurai (Education), we believe in literacy as the foundation of lifelong learning and education. People who cannot read or write experience difficulties with simple everyday tasks such as reading the label of a medicine bottle, filling in a job application or understanding traffic sign.
When we help someone to acquire literacy skills, we are empowering them with better opportunities in life and breaking the poverty cycle.
Literacy, as part of education, is a fundamental human right.
